Viva Las Vegas!
I am super stoked about tonight’s guest dj. I know I said I’d cut back on my use of “stoked” in 2007, but this is totally warranted. Keith Evan is one reason I’m actually thinking of going back to Vegas. Not to hate on Vegas, but my “extensive” experience in Vegas led me to believe that there was no house music there. And by “extensive”, I mean “3 days in 2004″. But boy, was I wrong! Keith Evan holds it down there every week, with residencies at some of LV’s longest-running and most house-head approved nights. Lucky for us, he’s also good buddies with Miguel Innes of Next Door, where he’s spent more than one Hawaiian holiday, and where he’ll be gracing the decks this Friday night.

Bubbles and I got to check him out at WMC this year at the House Society/Kinkysweet party. You can see me flashing shaka, trying to pretend I’m Hawaiian. But seriously, Keith is a great dj, and I wish I had pics of him from the last time he was at Next Door, because he seriously rocked it out. Alas, I didn’t take pictures that night because I was, of course, rocking out. Please tune in tonight to catch him live on The So Very Show, and we’ll hear about his gig at Next Door tomorrow night, and his residencies in Las Vegas, you know, in case you were planning a trip there sometime soon. I know I am!

Lastly, I’d like to give a shout out to Ms. Larissa Gamarra. Larissa did a great job on Sunday, May 27th djing at Casa alongside vocalist and friend Sam Seven. We also had her on the show in March along with fellow HouseWife Michelle Sanz. Larissa has a great style all her own that really made her sets at Casa enjoyable for me. She’s moving back to SF, but hopefully she’ll visit us often, and keep us posted on her djing in the Bay Area. Aloha Larissa, a hui hou!
